A great segment on Ebor Way across the countryside west of Hovingham. Wide tracks, rolling hills (Hovingham High Wood on the slopes to the south) and green fields (best in the summer), and almost immediate peace out of the villages of Hovingham and Cawton. If you’re of that kind of temperament and you find yourself here at sunset, you’ll reacquaint yourself with your inner poet.

Hiking

A really easy track to follow from Cawton to Hovingham, and judging from others' photos, one that really ought to be visited through the different seasons. My photos are from a hot sunny weekend in May, when the countryside was a blaze of yellow with flowering rapeseed.
